Abstract
Background
Information on impact of race and ethnicity on use and early outcomes of septal reduction therapies (SRTs) for obstructive hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy are limited.
Methods and Results
Using the National Inpatient Sample from January 2012 through December 2019, we identified all adult admissions with a primary diagnosis of obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and those undergoing SRT. Predictors of receiving SRT and outcomes including in‐hospital mortality, complications, and resource use were evaluated in racial and ethnic groups. Among a total of 18 895 adult admissions with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, SRT was performed in 7255 (38.4%) admissions. Septal myectomy was performed in 4930 (26.1%), while alcohol septal ablation was performed in 2325 (12.3%). In adjusted analysis, Black patient (versus White patient adjusted odds ratio, 0.65 [95% CI, 0.57–0.73];
P
<0.001) and Hispanic patient admissions (versus White adjusted odds ratio, 0.78 [95% CI, 0.66–0.92];
P
=0.003) were less likely to receive SRT. Among admissions undergoing SRT, in‐hospital mortality was significantly higher for Hispanic (adjusted odds ratio, 3.38 [95% CI, 1.81–6.30],
P
<0.001) and other racial and ethnic groups (adjusted odds ratio 2.02 [95% CI, 1.00–4.11];
P
=0.05) compared with White patient admissions, whereas Black patient admissions had comparable mortality. Black, Hispanic, and other ethnic group patients had higher rates of SRT complications and more frequent dismissals to acute care facilities.
Conclusions
Among obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy hospitalizations, minoritized racial groups were less likely to receive SRT. Importantly, hospitalizations of Hispanic and other ethnic patients undergoing SRT had significantly higher in‐hospital mortality and complication rates. Further studies with granular echocardiographic information to assess indications for SRT are needed to better understand these differences.
